Well at least it's almost too wet for all you hills brigades to be going to all the donkey's that can't control their burnoff's up there, last year seemed pretty ridiculous in may and june the amount of "Burnoff Out Of Control" calls were up there :-o

Unfortunately, the "burnoff out of control" calls seem to have been replaced with MVA calls... Wet roads... ;)

yeah and doesn't it show! Do they also have much involvement with STC? I know they're not closest to there, but they're close enough. by involvement i mean taking a truck up there when a course is on etc.

who knows??? that wouldnt be an incident anyway...

in all reality littlehampton dont really back barker up that much at all, watch the paging site, the only things in barkers primary that littlehampton get paged for are grassies (littlehampton tanker, or heysen BWC i guess only) and any structure fire that is called in as a school, commercial or factory...

barker do it all by themselves in there area...

LH are duel response for all structure fires & Grass Fires fires in Barker. last year they also responded to all fire alarms, hence the drop in calls this year.
LH only do about 25 - 30 primary calls a year.

If mount barker did not respond to other brigade areas for dual turn out well there call's will come down.. But why is it that they only respond themself to alarms in their area but always have to dual respond to others area in the group?????

Because if they can get two trucks out the door, there is no need for a second brigade to be responded.

I agree with you on that statement Toast but bear in mind brigades do have trouble in getting crews for one appliance because most of their members are either at work or picking their kids up from school when the pager sounds

Kalangadoo learnt that lesson last monday when we were called to CHH Nangwarry and only 2 crew rocked up after the page was sent out with the Captain arriving a few mintues later

Robert, don't forget that brigades differ in their ability to crew appliances. Mt. Barker can, 90% of the time, get two trucks out the door. If they can,t then they turn out the next brigade to get the second appliance responding if its needed

you are 100% right Toast and it's because Mount Barker has more volunteers who can man the truck at all hours when available

Robert how many jobs has the Group down their predicted for your brigade and will they be putting in for a pumper?

Mt Barker are like any other brigade if they don't turn out to a job they get defaulted. The reason Littlehampton get so many jobs a year is because the group officers invite the tanker to out of area jobs and heysen tanker is on automatic response for ANY rural incident during summer to boost their call rate.......

There is no way that kalangadoo will get a pumper as there is one at Millicent,a 24p at Penola and at this stage the Mill may not be going ahead due to the community dont want it in there town...the best the brigade may get is a recon 34 or a new 34 but that is up to the group.....

rescue5271 is right pumprescue due to our very low callout status were not really in the position to have a pumper plus fr0m what i have heard around the traps were getting a refurbished 34 in coming months

Should the new pulp mill be built and our brigade is still operational when that happens Kalangadoo 'might' get a 34P but until that happens we have to make use of the current 34 appliance

But the pulp mill might be like our Auspine mill and have their own emergency response team

Were not in an MFS area Senior_ Firey70 but as i said in my pervious reply the pulp mill may have a emergency response team and if they do have one i'll be sure to get a job there maybe as part of their crew
